The Window War: Update from Rochester. The New York Daily News discovers Sipsey Street. Pictures of the "crazy" brick.

Monroe County Democratic Chairman Joe Morelle is denouncing an attack on his party's Rochester HQ that he believes was in reaction to the passage of the health care reform bill by the House yesterday.

Brick w. note

"I think the people who do this kind of thing are cowards," Morelle told me. "I don't consider this civil disobedience. That's usually non-violent and you get arrested...There's legitimate ways to protest. This is frightening. It is crazy and sick. What's next? We take baseball bats and hit the people we don't like?"

Morelle said someone threw a brick through the double glass doors at the HQ, shattering one of them and spider-webbing the other.

The weapon: A brick, to which a piece of paper bearing the message "Extremism is defense of liberty is no vice" was attached with a rubber band.

That's a Barry Goldwater quote. The rest of it goes as follows: "The moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." He said it at the 1964 National GOP Convention (actually, according to Wikipedia, the line is attributable to Goldwater's speechwriter, Karl Hess).

Morelle said the brick was thrown sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. It is being linked to an Alabama-based blogger, who encouraged his readers to "Break their windows. Break them now.”

“Yet, if we do a thorough job of breaking Democrat windows, I am sure that the GOP will profit from the example,” the blog reads. “So, if you wish to send a message that Pelosi and her party cannot fail to hear, break their windows.”

Rep. Louise Slaughter, who was a central figure during the health care debate, reportedly had the windows of her Niagara Falls office broken, too.

lol...They want us to protest in a way they think we should protest, something they can be comfortable with and easily ignore...like Tea Party Protests, Pink Slips to Congress, and the Freedom Express. Sorry, but we tried that and they wouldn't listen. Sounds like they are listening now.

Frightening? Crazy? Sick? Sounds to me like they are getting scared. Good! Maybe they'll take us seriously now.

" It's.... it's craaaazy and sickkkk..." You can almost hear this smegma sucker pissing down his pantsleg at the very thought of... gasp!.... breaking windows! Ohhhh! Someone hand him his smelling salts and his lace hankie!!But I DO kinda like his suggestion of baseball bats. Maybe as a followup to the bricks? Too subtle??

Mike, I sure hope you got the address of that dipshit who was willing to bet not one window would be reported broken. Gosh- at $20 a crack, you're going to have enough cash on hand to get a few new toys.God bless and keep up the good work.Shy III

Funny, the same folks who've made their careers at breaking the social contract; breaking the nation's laws; and throwing begged, borrowed, and stolen cash around 'till the country -along with a very many of its citizens were rendered broke- are outraged that windows were broken by some of the very people they've striven to break...The people who's taxes paid for those windows.

Not sure where I read it, but there should be a congresscritter paparazzi to hound them day and night wherever they go. Also, if minor property damage to a window is now considered a homeland security/terrorism issue, then it's too late to save the Republic the "nice" way. The fascists have control. I wonder if those jackholes know how the Nuremburg trials came out. Every power hungry, elitist, statist, collectivist POS in history has eventually gotten his comeuppance. I just hope they use rope made from hemp to add insult to injury.

Iowa Patriots: False flag attacks are used by those in power to gain more power in order to stay in power. Some squishly left-wing POS has already done the very thing you asked about.

Same deal with the alleged Tea Partyer calling that walking douche bag Wrangle a nigger at the protest on Saturday in the District of Criminals. Of course, the lame stream media will take it a run with it, hoping that the sheep will switch the channel from American Idol during a commercial to catch some "news" and immediately conclude that everyone who supports a return to the Constitutional Republic is a whacko, white-power, racist type. We need a good, solid IO campaign to wipe away the disinformation pumped out 24-7 by the media.

I wanted to give you an idea of what a mobile two-man team is capable of doing, so I had a friend re-tell a story from his younger days.

Nearly 20 years ago and while in high school, he and a friend racked up close to one million dollars in broken glass over an 8-month period. This was confined to a small part of a major metropolitan area. On the night that they were caught they had taken out 96 windows.

How were they caught? Total carelessness. 8 months of success led them to break glass in full view of a parked cop car.

Their targets were chosen at random, so the numbers were easy to achieve. Still, it is an "impressive" feat.

(He is no longer a street vandal, I don't think it is/was funny, and it really is a friend and not me.)

March 22, 2010 3:18 PM Not really a surprise. "Remember that an early icon of the new extreme right was G. Gordon Liddy, who not only openly advocated murdering federal law enforcement agents but advised his listeners to shoot at the head, just in case the officers were wearing bullet-proof vests."

Law and order, you see, only applies when people you disagree with get rowdy and do things like go limp in front of draft offices. When things you actually agree with are at stake, actual violence is quite permissible.

and here is a note that I sent to Albany_Exile, who commented on the New York Daily news article:

Mr. A. Exile.....you vastly overstate the term "violence" in your preceding statement. Violence toward a glass door is something that just can't happen. Violence is reserved for actions against humans, and humans alone. In this case, you have an act of civil disobedience. And if we were to assign a degree of civil disobedience, it would be less than the bombings done in the name of anarchy by Obama's mentors and certainly less than the violence committed in the name of socialism by Ernesto Guerva and the Castro brothers. So relax for now, if the democrats get the message, and temper their desire to sink into totalitarian control of all aspects of the lives of Americans it will all simmer down. On the other hand, if the Democrats keep it up everything you say and fear may come to pass.

and if you would like to reach Albany_Exile, Here is where you can find him:

you know attacking a federal official is a federal offense.just like hal turner who threaten three federal judges and now your following his foot steps go figure.i really hope you all get caught and i really hope your charged in federal court.

oh and another thing her family has nothing to do with your protest either.

Concerned American THEY DAY THEY MAN UP WILL BE THE DAY ILL GET MARRIED.BUT YOU KNOW THEY DONT HAVE THE FUCKEN BALLS TO COME ON MY RADIO OR ON ANY OTHER RADIO MEDIA AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS AND WHATS THE REAL PURPOSE.THERE ANOTHER NEO NAZI GROUP JUST LIKE HAL TURNER OF NORTH BERGEN NJ HE WAS ARRESTED BY HE HAD BALLS TO SAY IT ON THE RADIO ALL THEY ARE IS ALL TALK AND NO FUCKEN BALLS .

Advice on child rearing from my son.

Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
